18 Permutations of 3
Evaluate the following permutation
18P3
Permutation Definition:
An order or arrangement
Permutation Formula:
| nPr = | n! |
| (n - r)! |
where n is the number of items
r is the number of arrangements.
Plug in n = 18 and r = 3
| 18P3 2 | 18! |
| (18 - 3)! |
Factorial Formula:
n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1
Calculate n!:
n! = 18!
18! = 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
18! = 6,402,373,705,728,000
Calculate (n - r)!:
(n - r)! = (18 - 3)!
(18 - 3)! = 15!
15! = 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
15! = 1,307,674,368,000
Calculate 18P3:
| 18P3 = | 6,402,373,705,728,000 |
| 1,307,674,368,000 |
18P3 = 4,896

How does the Permutations and Combinations Calculator work?
Free Permutations and Combinations Calculator - Calculates the following:
Number of permutation(s) of n items arranged in r ways = nPr
Number of combination(s) of n items arranged in r unique ways = nCr including subsets of sets
This calculator has 2 inputs.
What 2 formulas are used for the Permutations and Combinations Calculator?
nPr=n!/r!nCr=n!/r!(n-r)!
